I read an example of what can happen if you live in the state of Oregon at least; It's considered fraud to use any un-accredited degree, legitimate or not, in any public way! Apparently, it's even seems to be punishable by fine and imprisonment! Anyway, this probably varies a lot from state to state. The example above is from DegreeFinders.com's article about "Accreditation and Diploma Mills" (see the link below). Hope this helps!
There are no doubt some risks in the use of life experience degrees, but there are places where they can serve a legitimate value. The important thing is to find out the law in your jurisdiction and make sure that you do not decieve a client or employer.
Many people in the less policed areas of the world have obtained work with life experience degrees, in particular, English teachers in S.E. Asia.
